Right after I was fired from the Frontiersman! In any case, I really don’t miss working in the print media, which was dying when I left the business in the middle 1990s. Still, it’s interesting to see Heather’s name here on FR.

Ah, you know Heather!

>>>Ah, you know Heather!<<<

Not really. I was fired from the paper in 1995 (along with most of the staff), and she was one of the crew that replaced us. It was a fun little newspaper for a while, even a little conservative at times. Then we were bought out, the staff was cleaned out, and the newbies arrived. The sad part is that these actions are the ones that are killing the print media - that is, the idea that reporters and editors are interchangeable cogs, like fry cooks at McDonald’s, instead of being long-term residents of the community they serve. I do miss interviewing interesting people and learning new things... but the liberal bias and unrelenting pressure I can do without.
